They're pretty reasonable hifi speakers but, as said, hifi speakers are designed to "sound good" rather than "sound accurate". If you're willing to spend the time learning your speakers (doing a mix then seeing how it sound on a variety of other hardware, re-doing the mix, listening again and repeating until you know how things have to sound in your studio to sound okay everywhere) then they might be usable but they're not ideal.
If Popeye got into home recording, would he use moiters to impress his goil?
